VERISYSE™ PHAKIC INTRAOCULAR LENS — FINANCIAL RESPONSIBILITY

Medicare and health insurance organizations do not pay for the Verisyse™ Phakic Intraocular Lens procedure. Neither do most insurance companies. Drs. Fine, Hoffman and Packer charge a single combined fee for their services.

Charges for the preoperative exam and computerized corneal topography are not included in the surgical fee. As a courtesy we will bill your insurance. Any charges remaining after billing the insurance for vision benefits will be the patient’s responsibility.

Surgical fee includes the surgery and post-operative care for up to one year. Post-operative services include a 1-day check and assessments at 1-2 weeks, 1 month, 3 months, 6 months and 1 year. The fee does not cover the cost of glasses or contact lenses, the cost of punctal plugs, or the cost of certain medications. You will be responsible for paying the fee before services are provided.

Financing is available to most patients; please ask for details. Should you require financing, please remember that authorization of financing must be received in the office one day prior to your surgery.

Commonly Asked Questions:
How soon after surgery will I see well?
Patients can achieve fully corrected vision and resume normal activities the very next day.

Will refractive surgery hurt?
During the procedure, a strong topical anesthetic is used to numb the eye. Generally, only pressure is felt during the procedure.

Will I still need my glasses or contacts?
The goal of refractive surgery is to reduce your dependence on glasses and/or contact lenses.

Will my insurance cover Verisyse™ Phakic Intraocular Lens Surgery?
Most health care coverage considers Verisyse™ Phakic Intraocular Lens surgery an elective surgical procedure and does not cover it. For our Verisyse™ Phakic Intraocular Lens patients, we highly recommend CareCredit® or ChaseHealth
Advance.
